"Everything Is Broken: Life Inside Burma" is the second book by Emma Larkin, a Burmese-speaking American journalist who gathers her touching stories traveling incognito in Burma (aka Myanmar).
Like her first book, this one has appeared in a popular edition, with a sub-title that is more explicit: "The True Story of Cyclone Nargis and its Aftermath in Burma".
Her clear prose gives an affecting portrait of a people suffering not only disaster, but political repression of a kind that prevents outside assistance reaching those in desperate need.
